Ace Ventura 3?

Ace-Ventura-3I absolutely loved Ace Ventura: Pet Detective when it first came out. Everyone instantly saw what a huge star Jim Carrey was going to be emerging out of his “In Living Color” days. That film is still the quintessential Jim Carrey movie (not his BEST film… but the one that embodies his career). It’s also the film that made me fall hopelessly in love with Courtney Cox. MMMmmmmmmm. Anyway…

Then came Ace Ventrua 2… and man it was horrible. It proved that some films and characters are great for 1 film… and then should be left alone. The whole Ace Ventura thing got really tired really fast.

Now the word is that they’re actually considering making another Ace Ventura… this time it’s Ace Ventura Jr. OH MY GOODNESS. Did Dumb and Dumberer not teach them anything?!?! The good folks over at MovieWeb give us this:

Morgan Creek has hired Jeff Sank and brothers Jason and Justin Heimberg to write a third installment of the hit Ace Ventura franchise. The latest pet project is expected to center on the eccentric detective’s son, who steps into his father’s shoes to take over the family business

This is a horrible idea. Can anyone say “Son of The Mask”?!?!

Let it go. Ace Ventura was a classic, but even Jim Carrey himself couldn’t recapture the magic with that character. The character was a one shot wonder that should now be left alone, and it’s sequel forgotten. My suggestion, take the paper that the Ace Venture 3 concept is written on, get 7 virgins to piss on it and have a witch doctor set it a blaze to send it to some netherworld where it will be trapped for all eternity. Then lets never speak of it again.
